Varieties of Capitalism and Cross-national Variation in Fertility Rates
The institutional approach to explaining cross-national variation in demographic outcomes has gained increasing visibility in both academic research and public policy discourse. In this vein, much of the literature has focused on the effects of welfare programs on risk management and the associated costs of fertility. However, an alternative, more comprehensive perspective, namely, the “varieties of capitalism,” emphasizes the role of broader soc…
La Patria Grande? Anti-immigrant attitudes in Latin America
Rising migratory flows, shifting countries of origin and destination, and the growing phenomenon of transit migration have positioned intraregional migration in Latin America as a salient political and social issue. Within this context, attitudes toward immigrants play a critical role, as they are closely linked to political intolerance and to migrants’ prospects for social incorporation. Drawing on theoretical frameworks that connect xenophobia …
The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Labor Market in Argentina
This paper investigates gender differences in the short- and longer-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on employment status in Argentina. Using individual cross-sectional and panel data from household surveys, we compare employment status (inactive, unemployed, self-employed, or employed, distinguishing between the formal and informal sectors) before, immediately after, and a year after the pandemic. We examine how gender intersects with educa…
The Gendered Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Employment in Argentina: The Mediating Role of the Public vs. Private Sectors
This study examines the COVID-19 pandemic's immediate and long-term impact on Argentina's labor market with a focus on gender disparities and the mediating role of the public vs. private sectors. Using household survey data, we assess men and women's employment trends before, during, and after the pandemic. Our findings reveal gender-specific recovery patterns that interact with the employment sector. The most prominent short-term effect of the p…
One Quarter of the Nation: Immigration and the Transformation of America
The next phases of the Migrante Project: Study protocol to expand an observatory of migrant health on the Mexico—U.S. border
Background: Mexican migrants traveling across the Mexico-United States (U.S.) border region represent a large, highly mobile, and socially vulnerable subset of Mexican nationals. Population-level health data for this group is hard to obtain given their geographic dispersion, mobility, and largely unauthorized status in the U.S. Over the last 14 years, the Migrante Project has implemented a unique migration framework and novel methodological appro…
From global to regional? New realities of international migration to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Commentary on “Buenos Aires. From successful city/nation-building to fragmented amalgamation” by Marcelo C…
In “Buenos Aires. From successful city/nation-building to fragmented amalgamation”, Marcelo Cavarozzi details the connection between immigration and the construction of Buenos Aires as a global city. Cavarozzi analyzes the evolution of economic segregation in Buenos Aires by describing how the spatial order that separated the city centre from its surrounding areas developed. This commentary takes over where Cavarozzi’s paper ends and describes th…
The Labor Force Trajectories of Immigrant Women in the United States: Intersecting Individual and Gendered Cohort Characteristics
Research on immigrant women's labor market incorporation has increased in recent years, yet systematic comparisons of employment trajectories by national origin and over time remain rare. Likewise, the literature on immigrant assimilation remains dominated by attention to men, with little focus on larger gendered migration dynamics. Using US Census and ACS data from 1990 to 2016, we construct synthetic migration cohorts by national/regional origi…

Covid-19 testing, infection, and vaccination among deported Mexican migrants: Results from a survey on the Mexico-U.S. border
Background: Migrants detained and held in immigration and other detention settings in the U.S. have faced increased risk of COVID-19 infection, but data on this population is scarce. This study sought to estimate rates of COVID-19 testing, infection, care seeking, and vaccination among Mexican migrants detained by U.S. immigration authorities and forcibly returned to Mexico. Methods: = 306). Deported migrants were recruited at Mexican migration f…
Nativity differentials in first births in the United States: Patterns by race and ethnicity
BACKGROUND: While recent decades have seen gradual convergence in ethno-racial disparities in completed fertility in the United States, differences in the age pattern of first births remain. The role of nativity has not been fully understood. OBJECTIVE: This paper examines how first births vary by nativity, and how this variation contributes to more significant racial and ethnic differentials. METHODS: Using data from the National Survey of Famil…
Continuities and Changes in the Processes of Mexican Migration and Return
This article examines continuities and changes in the prevalence and determinants of first migration and return between Mexico and the United States. The results show a dramatic decline over time in the likelihood of migrants’ making a first trip. The empirical design distinguishes processes affecting migrating cohorts from those emanating from period conditions, paying particular attention to changes in educational selectivity and the legal stat…
Migration and depression: A cross-national comparison of Mexicans in sending communities and Durham, NC
Promises and challenges of the transnational approach
The State and the Grassroots: Immigrant Transnational Organizations in Four Continents, edited by Portes and Fernández-Kelly, is a path-breaking comparative study that theoretically elaborates and empirically documents the salient role of immigrant organizations in the advent of transnationalism. The volume provides original insight into three controversies related to the origin and practice of transnationalism, the relationship between migration…
The Changing Nature of Return Migration to Mexico, 1990–2010
In this paper we investigate changes in the labor market incorporation (i.e., labor force status, class of worker, and earnings) of return migrants from the United States to Mexico between 1990 and 2010. We argue that changing period conditions, particularly the 2007 economic recession and enhanced immigration enforcement policies dating back to the mid-1990s, have altered both the volume and nature of return flows affecting the migration-develop…
Abortion Legalization and Childbearing in Mexico
In 2007 abortion was legalized in the Federal District of Mexico, making it the largest jurisdiction in Latin America, outside of Cuba, to allow women to have abortions on request during the first trimester of pregnancy. While the implications of the law for women's health and maternal mortality have been investigated, its potential association with fertility behavior has yet to be assessed. We examine metropolitan‐area differences in overall and…
The Departed: Deportations and Out-Migration among Latino Immigrants in North Carolina after the Great Recession
This article explores the impact of the 2007 recession and immigration enforcement policies on Latin American immigrants' out-migration from the Durham, North Carolina, area-a new immigrant destination. Drawing on an original ethnosurvey collected in 2011, the analysis assesses the extent of out-migration over time, what precipitated the move, and whether individuals returned to their country of origin or migrated within the United States. We fin…

A Tale of Two Contexts: U.S. Migration and the Labor Force Trajectories of Mexican Women
Even though women have long participated in Mexico–U.S. migration studies assessing the labor market implications of international mobility for women are rare. Especially lacking are studies that follow a life-course approach and compare employment trajectories across contexts and in connection with other transitions. Using life-history data collected in Mexico and the U.S., we explore the impact of migration on women's employment, focusing on ho…
Perceived Discrimination among Latino Immigrants in New Destinations: The Case of Durham, North Carolina
This article draws on original survey data to assess the prevalence of perceived discrimination among Latin American immigrants to Durham, North Carolina, a 'new immigrant destination' in the Southeastern United States. Even though discrimination has a wide-ranging impact on social groups, from blocked opportunities, to adverse health outcomes, to highlighting and reifying intergroup boundaries, research among immigrant Latinos is rare, especiall…
Intraregional Migration in South America: Trends and a Research Agenda
This article contributes to the global dialogue attempting to incorporate South-South intraregional migration into policy and academic discussions by reviewing the dynamics, characteristics, and legal contexts of interregional migration in South America. We first present the historical formation of migratory subsystems and identify emerging trends. We then organize our revision along the main theoretical issues surrounding international migration…
Migration, Social Organization, and the Sexual Partners of Mexican Men
We build on recent developments in social organization theory to examine the sexual partnering of Mexican men in a new area of immigrant destination. We elaborate on two levels of contextual influence: 1) how differences in social capital between sending and receiving communities affect partner formation and 2) how neighborhood social cohesion influences immigrants' behavior. Data come from an original survey conducted in Durham, NC and migrant s…
Forging Hispanic Communities in New Destinations: A Case Study of Durham, North Carolina
The Chicago School of urban sociology and its extension in the spatial assimilation model have provided the dominant framework for understanding the interplay between immigrant social and spatial mobility. However, the main tenets of the theory were derived from the experience of pre-war, centralized cities; scholars falling under the umbrella of the Los Angeles school have recently challenged the extent to which they are applicable to the contem…
Immigration Enforcement Policies, the Economic Recession, and the Size of Local Mexican Immigrant Populations
This article relies on local area variation in immigration policies, specifically the local implementation of the 287(g) program, and economic conditions to estimate their impact on changes in the size of local Mexican immigrant populations between 2007 and 2009. The author also investigates the impact of the 287(g) program on the employment prospects of low-skilled native black and white workers. The study finds that outside of four influential …
Migration and Gender among Mexican Women
Despite their importance to women's empowerment and migrant adaptation more generally, the social and cultural processes that determine how gender relations and expectations evolve during the process of migration remain poorly understood. In this article, data from a survey conducted in Durham, North Carolina and four sending communities in Mexico are used to examine how the structures of labor, power, and emotional attachments within the family …
Restructuring of the US Meat Processing Industry and New Hispanic Migrant Destinations
Findings from the 2000 US Census indicate high rates of Hispanic population increase beyond urban areas and traditional immigrant-receiving states. The diversity of new destinations raises questions about forces attracting migrants to rural areas and links between economic structural change and Hispanic population growth. Our conceptual framework applies dual labor market theory to the meat processing industry, a sector whose growing Hispanic lab…
International migration and development in mexican communities
The theoretical and empirical literature generally regards international migration as producing a cycle of dependency and stunted development in sending communities. Most migrants’ earnings are spent on consumption; few funds are channeled into productive investment. We argue that this view is misleading because it ignores the conditions under which productive investment is likely to be possible and profitable. We analyze the determinants of migr…
Intergenerational fertility among hispanic women: New evidence of immigrant assimilation
In recent decades, rapid growth of the U.S. Hispanic population has raised concerns about immigrant adaptation, including fertility. Empirical research suggests that Hispanics, especially Mexicans, might not be following the historical European pattern of rapid intergenerational fertility decline (and convergence toward native levels). If confirmed, continued high Hispanic fertility could indicate a broader lack of assimilation into mainstream Am…
Migradollars and Development: A Reconsideration of the Mexican Case
Economic arguments, quantitative data, and ethnographic case studies are presented to counter popular misconceptions about international labor migration and its economic consequences in Mexico. The prevailing view is that Mexico-U.S. migration discourages autonomous economic growth within Mexico, at both the local and national levels, and that it promotes economic dependency. However, results estimated from a multiplier model suggest that the inf…
How High is Hispanic/Mexican Fertility in the United States? Immigration and Tempo Considerations
In this article, I demonstrate that the apparently much higher fertility of Hispanic/Mexican women in the United States is almost exclusively the product of period estimates obtained for immigrant women and that period measures of immigrant fertility suffer from three serious sources of bias that together significantly overstate fertility levels: difficulties in estimating the size of immigrant groups; the tendency for migration to occur at a par…

Migration and relationship power among mexican women
Our study drew on original data collected in Durham, NC, and four sending communities in Mexico to examine differences in women’s relationship power that are associated with migration and residence in the United States. We analyzed the personal, relationship, and social resources that condition the association between migration and women’s power and the usefulness of the Relationship Control Scale (RCS) for capturing these effects. We found suppo…

Economic Restructuring, Financial Crises, and Women's Work in Mexico
This paper contributes to our understanding of the social impact of economic restructuring and globalization in Mexico by analyzing changes in entry-level employment across three generations of Mexican women. Using retrospective data, we relate the divergent period conditions represented by each cohort to the process of labor market incorporation and other facets of first employment, namely first occupation, class of worker, and firm size. The an…
Hispanic Familism Reconsidered: Ethnic Differences in the Perceived Value of Children and Fertility Intentions
Familism has been described as a cultural trait that might explain why the fertility of Hispanic women remains higher than non-Hispanic White women. Still, few studies have analyzed group differences in childbearing attitudes. This paper focuses on two dimensions of childbearing orientation: social value of children and fertility intentions. Using the National Survey of Family Growth we find limited support for the idea that familism undergirds d…
Religious attendance and mortality: Implications for the black-white mortality crossover
This study investigates the relationships among religious attendance, mortality, and the black-white mortality crossover. We build on prior research by examining the link between attendance and mortality while testing whether religious involvement captures an important source of population heterogeneity that contributes to a crossover. Using data from the Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly, we find a strong negative …
Use of Commercial Sex Workers Among Hispanic Migrants in North Carolina: Implications for the Spread of HIV

Women's roles and family formation in Venezuela: New forms of consensual unions
This paper assesses the effects of changes in women's education and labor force participation on nuptiality patterns and their implications for fertility decline in Venezuela. Results show that together with delays in union formation, changes in women's education and labor force participation produced a different, more "modern" type of consensual union, which coexists with "traditional" consensual unions. "Traditional" consensual unions remain a …

Intergenerational fertility among hispanic women: New evidence of immigrant assimilation
In recent decades, rapid growth of the U.S. Hispanic population has raised concerns about immigrant adaptation, including fertility.
